The Midtown Greenway runs beneath a series of bridges in south Minneapolis, shown here during evening hours with red tail lights from passing cyclists marking the trail’s path. Originally a railroad corridor built in the early 20th century, the Greenway was converted into a protected urban bike and pedestrian route in the early 2000s. Flanked by apartments, offices, and green spaces, it serves as a major east–west transportation corridor connecting Uptown to the Mississippi River while supporting Minneapolis’s commitment to sustainable transit.

A reflective orange label on a metal utility pole base in Minneapolis reads “Aluminum Wiring Inside – No Scrap Value,” a deterrent to metal theft common in urban infrastructure. These signs are typically installed by city or utility crews to reduce vandalism and theft of copper wiring from streetlights and signal systems. Aluminum, though less conductive than copper, is widely used for cost and safety reasons in public electrical networks across Minneapolis and other U.S. cities.

A temporary “Turtle X-ing” sign stands beside a paved trail managed by the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board, reminding cyclists and pedestrians to slow down for turtles crossing the path. Each spring and summer, snapping and painted turtles migrate between nearby lakes and wetlands to lay eggs in sandy soil along the city’s parkways. These seasonal signs are part of Minneapolis’s broader effort to balance recreation with urban wildlife protection, especially around the Chain of Lakes and Minnehaha Creek trail systems.
